Ear Jewelry System With Associated Gauges For Optimal Adaption of the Jewelry on the Ear Lobe

ABSTRACT

Ear jewelry system comprises ear jewelry  1 ) and an associated gauge ( 2 ) for optimal adaptation of the ear jewelry ( 1 ) on the ear lobe. The ear jewelry ( 1 ) has a U shaped recess ( 5 ), which, with its internal width ( 7 ) is intended to be pushed from below over the ear lobe ( 16 ), which is to be fitted. The recess ( 5 ) then takes precisely the thickness of the ear lobe ( 16 ) in the condition, in which it is pulled down and stretched. Instead of adapting the recess directly to the measured thickness, an insert can also, with corresponding thickness, be put in the recess. The suitable internal width ( 7 ) is determined by means of a gauge ( 2 ), appropriate to the system, from multiple number of separate gauges ( 3 ). The separate gauges ( 3 ) have mouths ( 8 ) with graded internal widths ( 12 ) and tongues ( 9 ) with thickness ( 13 ), corresponding with the respective internal widths ( 7 ). With the help of a measurement of an ear lobe ( 16 ) to be fitted, in its stretched condition, by means of these separate gauges ( 3 ), the suitability ear jewelry is ascertained from a series of ear jewelry with U shaped recesses, having different internal widths ( 7 ).

The invention relates to an ear jewelry system with very special type ofear jewelry which distinguishes itself through the special fasteningsystem. Furthermore, the invention includes gauges so that the earjewelry becomes individually suitable for an ear lobe, which is animportant pre-requisite for wearing comfort of the ear jewelry. Thissystem is suitable for fashion jewelry as well as for pureornamentation.

In the conventional fastening of ear jewelry, basically two types offastening are distinguishable. According to the first type, the ornamentcan be attached to one pricked hole in the ear lobe. Occasionally otherparts of the body are also perforated in similar fashion, for example,the edges of the ear or wings of the nose to fix an ornamental ringthereon. The piece of jewelry or just the ear jewelry then shows aneedle, which is pushed through the hole and is secured at its tip witha catch, somewhat in the shape of a safety-clip, to prevent the piece ofjewelry from falling out. This catch mechanism is often unappealing. Ithas to be of a definite size so that it can be used effortlessly and,therefore, it remains visible from behind in many cases, which does notgive the right impression.

The second type of fastening is provided in the jewelry itself and isclipped on the ear or on the wing of the nose. The ear jewelry, known asear clips, consists of, for example, a clamping arrangement, where boththe clamp parts are pressed against each other by a spring. For puttingon the ear jewelry, the ear clips are opened by spreading apart both theclamp parts against the spring force, and the ear jewelry is pushed overthe ear lobe and then both the clamp parts hold the ear lobe, which liesin between them. The ear jewelry is held onto the ear lobe by means ofstatic friction. The bigger and heavier the ear jewelry is, the strongermust be the contact pressure of the clamp parts and with that the springforce to make the ear jewelry stick securely on the ear. If the springforce is too small, the static friction is too less and in case the headshakes abruptly, the jewelry would slip off the ear. This fasteningmethod is, in fact, practical for putting on and off the ear jewelry buthas the disadvantage that it causes almost always some pain, especiallywhen the jewelry is worn permanently. The clamping arrangements mostlyare of standard construction, which give rise to such contact pressurethat every current type of jewelry is to some extent held securely.After a couple of minutes of wearing the jewelry, the pain, caused bythe clamps, subsides, so that it no longer troubles excessively. If,however, worn for a prolonged period, invariably the pain becomesperceptible again. Till today, there is no ear jewelry, which is stuckon the ear lobe with spring force, which allows a pain-free and reliablewearing for a prolonged duration. The heavier and bigger the attachedjewelry, the more serious is the problem. Wearing the ear clips so farhas been, without exception, associated with more or less a strongsensation of pain; that is why many persons give up on wearing such typeof ear jewelry, although they find the same attractive on aestheticgrounds and would have loved to wear them.

It is, therefore, the object of the present invention to create an earjewelry system, which ensures that the ear jewelry remains simple in itsoperation while putting it on or off, further does not trigger a feelingof pain for bigger and heavier jewelry even when worn for a long periodand moreover deploys a fastening system, which can be produced in a morecost effective and simpler way than the conventional spring loadedclamping arrangement and which—after the ornament has been put on—is notvisible from any side. In an embodiment, the system should offeradditional security against inadvertent or conscious removal of the earjewelry by thieves. According to the present system, the ear jewelryshould be individually selectable according to the respective ear lobeof the wearer, wherein the standard sizes are selectable for thedifferent sizes of ear lobes, conforming straightaway then to therespective ear lobes.

This objective is fulfilled through an ear jewelry system withassociated gauges selected from separate gauges for optimum fitment ofthe ear jewelry on the ear lobe, which distinguishes itself thereby thatthe ear jewelry has a U shaped recess, which, with its internal width orthe internal width of an insert, to be placed into it from below isdefined to be pushed on the ear lobe, stretched for the purpose offitting, thereby taking up exactly the thickness of the stretched earlobe, wherein the suitable internal width can be decided with the helpof an appropriate gauge from a multiplicity of separate gauges withrespective mouths having graded internal widths and tongues havingthickness of the respective internal width, so that by a measurement ofthe ear lobe to be fitted in stretched condition with the help of theseseparate gauges, the suitable internal width can be decided of the Ushaped recess of the relevant ear jewelry or of the insert to beinserted from a series of ear jewelry or series of inserts with U shapedrecesses of different internal widths.

The core of the system lies therein, that firstly the thickness of theear lobe is measured individually in stretched-through-pulling conditionand secondly the ear jewelry, having a recess which conforms exactly tothis thickness of the ear lobe decided by the stretched condition, isheld purely through adhesion force on the ear lobe after the ear lobeswells back again when the ear jewelry has been put on and the pullingforce has been removed. The individual measurement takes placepreferably with a standardised scale, so that an ear lobe with a knownunit of measurement and in stretched condition straightaway can bematched with an ear jewelry of appropriate width of the U shaped recessor its insert and the jewelry is held securely on it after thestretching is removed. This system for holding the jewelry on an earlobe is not visible from outside, and thus, the holding system istotally integrated in the inside of the jewelry. It goes without sayingthat the system can be implemented merely as support for attaching theactual ear jewelry.

An example of implementation of this ear jewelry system is shown in thedrawings and the system with few pieces of ear jewelry as example andalso gauges associated with the system comprising calibrated separategauges are described below and the functioning of the system in alldetails is explained.

FIG. 1 shows the ear jewelry system with the essential parts, namely asingle piece of ear jewelry 1 and below it the associated gauges 2comprising a number of separate gauges 3. The piece of ear jewelry 1here makes for a plain ornament, made out of a suitable material, whichmay be precious metal, stainless steel, aluminium, plastic or evenstone, wood or glass. In the shown sketch, the ear jewelry is an ellipseshaped disc of about 2 to 3 mm thickness, about 25 mm length and 15 mmwidth. From this elliptical disc, from its pointed side along the lengthaxis 4, a U shaped recess 5 is taken out. The recess 5 has a finetoothed (serrated) surface, so that a complete row of longish barbs areformed. The barbs can also serve as receiving guide for acorrespondingly built insert 25, which is held back by the barbs or forhollow ear jewelry piece 1, the barbs can be partly opened, so that theswollen-again ear lobe finds more room and can anchor itself furtherinside the piece of ornament. As alternative, the recess can also havesmooth or etched rough inner walls 6, similar to the rubbing surface ofa match box. This piece of ear jewelry 1 can be made out of solidmaterial or can also be a hollow body. The latter can so come about thatthe piece of ear jewelry 1, depending on the production technique, firstremains open inside on the side facing the recess 5 and these open sidesafterwards are closed with the help of a thin material strip, either bysoldering, welding, click fixing, pushing in or sticking of suitableband shaped strips. In accordance with this special ear jewelry system,as speciality, the internal width 7 of the recess 5 must match exactlywith the thickness of an ear lobe, and for that matter with thethickness of an ear lobe in its stretched condition, when it is pulleddown with a hand along its length. The ear jewelry is therefore producedin a complete series, wherein the individual pieces 1 of a seriesdifferentiate themselves through the measurement of their internalwidths 7. The ear jewelry pieces 1 are therefore produced in a completeseries of graded widths 7, in the same manner as finger rings of aspecific ornament type are produced in different sizes or diameters. TheU shaped recess 5 on the ear jewelry is about 10 mm to 15 mm long andtheir internal widths 7 measures between 2 mm to 8 mm. Most of thewearers of the ear jewelry would require a width 7 between 4 mm and 6mm. The narrowest widths 7 are used by young girls when they arechildren and the biggest widths are used by corpulent persons. A seriesof an ear jewelry type can then be produced in steps of internal widths7, with widths of 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, . . . , 7.5, 8 mm. Naturally stillfiner steps can be selected. Below the ear jewelry 1 in FIG. 1, anappropriate gauge 2 is illustrated. This consists of a number of looseseparate gauges 3, which have in each case a mouth 8 and a tongue 9 andwhich are shown here in a stack. These separate gauges can have a hole10, so that they do not get lost and then they can be held together by awire ring 11, which passes through the holes 10 of all the separategauges, whereby these are arranged in a sequence according to theirgraded width 12 or sizes. For each separate gauge 3, the internal width12 of the mouth 8 corresponds exactly with the width 13 of the tongue 9.At the top and bottom, the separate gauges are provided with a scale 28,that means with fine lines 29, which are, for example, spaced apart at 1mm. Besides, through every separate gauge 3 extends a slit, and on oneside through its mouth 8 a slit 30 and on the other side, through itstongue 9 a slit 31, which extends right up to the tip of the tongue andis therefore open there. The function of the scale 28 and the slits30,31 will be explained in relation to the description of thefunctioning of the System. Few precise gauges can be punched from apaper board or can be injection moulded in a plastic part, wherein theseparate gauges lie next to each other. Gauges so produced lendthemselves well for distribution in the dispatch business and foroccasional use of the jewelry in private households, as these are veryreasonably priced. Similar flat gauges are already in use fordetermination of ring size of the finger rings.

For a better understanding of the ear jewelry system, FIG. 2 shows allthe components of a possible complete set of a type of ear jewelry. Itcomprises then a complete series of ear jewelry pieces 1 of the sametype with U shaped recesses 5 of different internal width and separategauges 3, appropriate for these different widths. The separate gauges 3are preferably made out of plastic or wood, so that they become lightand possess a small heat capacity and thermal conductivity, with theintention that when they are put on an ear lobe, as is described later,practically no heat transfer takes place. Putting on an ear lobe, whichis to be measured, is much more pleasant for the sample person than itis with a gauge made of steel, which would immediately take away muchheat from the ear lobe. The ends 14 of the gauges 3 on the open side oftheir mouths 8 are rounded, so that these do not prick or scratch an earlobe while being put on. As is indicated in the three lowermost separategauges 3, their mouths 8 can also have a definite inner form ; this isto take into consideration the fact that all the ear lobes over theirlength do not have a uniform thickness, but become thicker or thinnersomewhat towards their bottom etc. Even then the inner sides of theserecesses can be provided with fine barbs (not shown here), as shown inFIG. 1, or these inner sides can otherwise have a rough surface. A setof separate gauges 3 can be made available for every ear lobe form. Insimilar fashion, also the inner shape of the recesses 5 on the pieces ofear jewelry 1 can be made differently, as is indicated with hatchedareas in the three lowermost ear jewelry pieces 1.

An enlarged view of a piece of ear jewelry with its U shaped recess 5 asper the ear jewelry system is shown in FIG. 3. The inner walls 6 of theU shaped recess 5 can remain free depending upon the material quality orare fitted with a rubber foil or a rubber like foil material 15, forexample a foil material made of Neoprene, for which again a roughsurface or a surface provided with barbs are helpful. The material to beused consists of a backing fabric made of 100% polyamide and is coatedwith a stretchable raw rubber. The inner walls 6 of the U shaped recess5 are then fitted with one such foil 15 made of this or similar materialthrough lamination. Such foil material has high frictional resistanceagainst the skin and guarantees a firm hold of the jewelry put on an earlobe. As shown in FIG. 3 by means of dashed lines, the foil 15 itselfcan be shaped to be a part of the jewelry in a manner that it towersabove the recess 5 on one or both sides and makes, for example, a fanshaped decoration 32. In another variant, the recess can also be coatedwith a rubber foil, having a special surface with so called nano humps.One such uses the adhesion effect, which brings forth the feet ofGeckos, which, as is well known, makes it possible for lizard likeanimals to move over polished glass walls or ceiling, wherein their feetengage directly with the molecular structure of the wall. The feet ofthese animals have millions of finest hair at the sole of the feet, fromwhich each of them fans out to the tip in thousands of small buds. Thebrush like construction of the hairs brings the Gecko-feet so close incontact with the foundation that attractive forces, which usually arepresent between individual atoms and molecules, work—the so called Vander Waals forces—that is forces due to electrostatic interaction betweenatoms or molecules, when the spacing amounts to few atom diameters. Atthe University of California, Berkeley it was successful to producerubber pieces with similar surfaces, which had nano humps in them.

It is shown in FIG. 4, how the thickness of an ear lobe 16 is measuredwith the help of a separate gauge 3. As shown here on a right ear 17,the left hand 18 catches with index finger and thumb the ear lobe 16 andpulls it down as is indicated by the arrow, so that it stretches andbecomes thinner thereby. Then the right hand 19 pushes forward aseparate gauge 3 with its mouth 8 or its U shaped recess or its ends 14over the ear lobe, which has been thus stretched. Simply one suchseparate gauge 3 is chosen, whose mouth 8 can be put straight over thestretched ear lobe 16. If the left hand 18 lets go the ear lobe 16, itcan again retract and its thickness swells up a little bit. After this,the separate gauge 3 is held with accurate registration and securely onthe relaxed ear lobe 16. With a little pull downwards of the separategauge 3, the firmness of the seat can be tested. The scale 28 onlypermits to determine, how far the mouth 8 of the separate gauge 3 can beput over the ear lobe 16, because every ear lobe is not equally long.Further, a needle can be pushed through the slit 30, so that, if needbe, it can be pushed through the hole 33, which is already available inthe ear lobe. The position of the needle can afterwards be read off thescale, so that it can be precisely defined on the ear jewelry later,where a safety needle must be positioned. When these measurement stepshave been carried out, the ear lobe is again pulled down with one hand,so that it stretches and with the other hand then the separate gauge 3can easily be withdrawn from the ear lobe.

In FIG. 5 it is shown how the separate gauge 3 is now used to determinethe piece of ear jewelry, which would match with the measured thicknessof the ear lobe. Its tongue 9 is used to find out the right size of theear jewelry piece, or the right internal width 7 of the recess 5 on onesuch ear jewelry piece as per the system or for the determination of aninsert with the right width, which, depending on the configuration, canbe placed in the recess 5 of the ear jewelry. It is with advantage thatthe U shaped recess 5 on the piece of ear jewelry 1 is lined with arubber or rubber like foil, or its inner surfaces are roughened byetching, so that they have the similar roughness as on the rubbingsurface of a matchbox. The recess 5 of different ear jewelry pieces 1,which are thus coated or treated, are now pushed over the tongue 9 ofthe suitable separate gauge 3, whereby the recess 5 should be able to bepushed straight over the tongue 9. When this happens, the matching earjewelry piece has been found. Afterwards it is put on the ear lobe,wherein the ear lobe is again pulled down with one hand, so that it isstretched and the piece of jewelry 1 with its recess 5 is pushed overit. The jewelry piece 1 is pushed on the ear lobe in its stretchedcondition, and thereafter the ear lobe is let loose, so that the tensionis released and it returns to its relaxed state with little amount ofswelling. A secure and highly comfortable mating seat for the earjewelry piece, which has been put on in this manner, is thus ensured. Asshown in FIG. 1, when the surfaces of the inner sides of the recess areprovided with barbs instead of a plastic insert, the jewelry piece holdseven firmer because then the swollen up ear lobe snuggles up againstthese barbs.

In FIG. 6, a piece of ear jewelry 1 with an appropriate insert 25 isshown, the insert having on its part the same width, which matches withthe measured thickness of the ear lobe. The insert shows here springs 34with a dovetailed profile, which fit into the same grooves 35 in therecess 5 on the jewelry piece 1, so that the pushed-in insert is heldfirmly in the recess 5. Instead of grooves 35 and springs 34, holes andknops can also be used, which engage in each other, or sidewise barbs onthe insert 25 and the recess 5, which, when the insert is pushed in,engage with each other. The ear jewelry 1 here is provided with ahorizontal slit 20 of approximately 1 mm width, which is used forputting in a safety needle; safety needles generally have a thickness of0.8 mm. The associated insert 25 also is provided with such a horizontalslit 26, which however is closed due to the rubber like quality of theinsert and is opened only when the safety needle is put through it,which is explained later. The inner sides of the recess on the insert 25can be provided with barbs, same as already shown in FIG. 1, to increaseits hold on an ear lobe.

In FIG. 7, a piece of ear jewelry, pushed in this manner on an ear lobe,is shown. Essential is the recess on the jewelry piece as well as thewidth of this recess or the width of an insert, pushed into the recess.This width is made to match quite individually with the thickness of anear lobe and is basically measured and determined on an ear lobe,stretched through pulling. As shown in the Figure, the bottom part ofthe ear jewelry can be shaped and formed as per one's liking. In theexample shown here, the ear jewelry is made overall bell shaped and isfitted with four stones. It is just as well that an ear jewelry can bemade as creole, as shown in FIG. 8, or it can be made as a holder orsupport for attaching the real jewelry.

An example of pure jewelry is shown in FIG. 9. This ear jewelry can bemade from Titanium, for example, and is then especially light. On theother hand, it can also be made out of Gold or Platinum or out of Silverand can be subsequently gold plated and fitted with Diamonds 37. In thatcase it is especially valuable. For such ear jewelry, it is advisablenot to carry it on the ear lobe only through adhesion effect but also tosecure against it getting pulled off or slipping off. For this purpose,the ear jewelry is provided with a pocket shaped slit 20 starting fromits one side, as was mentioned for the ear jewelry in FIG. 6, the slitextending over the recess 5 and building a pocket there, as is indicatedby the dashed lines. The inner walls of the recess 5 are coated with arubber like, foamed foil 15. This ear jewelry can be secured on the earlobe, when the ear lobe of the wearer is pierced, which is indeed thecase with many ladies or can be brought about, if need be. Yet incomparison with the conventional jewelry, which are worn on pierced earlobes, the holder of this ear jewelry functions quite differently. Inconventional jewelry, the weight of the ornament essentially hangs fromthe needle, which is inserted through the hole of the ear lobe. Whensomeone wears relatively heavy ear jewelry over many years, the holes inthe ear lobes become larger and the ear lobes often become shapeless. Inthe proposed solution given here, however, the needle 21 serves only assafety for the ornament, not for its prolonged holding on the ear lobes.In the manner, described in detail above, the ear jewelry is made toconform to the ear lobe, stretched through pulling, and for putting iton, is only pushed from below with its U shaped recess over the earlobe, which is stretched by one hand, and even with the side with theslit 20 turned against the head. When the ear lobe is let loose, that isafter the tension is released, the ear lobe regains its shape and swellssomewhat, through which the ear jewelry is adequately held. Inprinciple, the ear jewelry could have been worn in this fashion. Forsafety, additionally a needle 21 with a grip head 24, which itself canbe built as an ornament, is inserted from the open side of the slit 20;it passes through the foil 15, right through the recess 5 and thusthrough the hole in the ear lobe, and after that through the foil 15 atthe other side of the recess 5 and then in the slit 20 there. The needle21 can be placed anywhere over the cross region 22 of the slit 20,depending upon the position of the hole in the ear lobe. The exactlocation of the needle 21 is likewise determined with the help of theseparate gauge. To this end, the separate gauges have similar slits30,31 and also a sidewise scale 28 with fine lines 29. When the separategauge 3 is pushed in, the safety needle 21 is put through the existinghole on the ear lobe and its location can be read off the scale 28. Theseparate gauge 3 is now placed in recess 5 on the jewelry piece 1 and inthe measured position then a hole can be drilled through the jewelrypiece or if the clear slit 20 is at one's disposal, the correct positionof insertion can be marked, and afterwards, the needle 21 can beinserted at this position through the slit 20 and the foil 15. Theappropriate needle 21 for the jewelry system has preferably a ballshaped tip 26. This expands the foil 15 when it is passed through thesame and prevents afterwards the slipping off of the needle 21 as theball shaped tip works like barb. The same thing happens when the recess5 on the piece of jewelry is fitted with an insert 25 of the measuredwidth, the insert on its part having a slit 27 for putting in the safetyneedle 21, as is shown in FIG. 6. The advantage of this system with theslit 20 also lies therein that the needle 21 can be moved to certainextent in a step less way within the slit 20, which means that theposition of the needle 21 at the jewelry piece can be made to matchprecisely with the hole on the ear lobe of the wearer. In everyposition, the needle pricks through the foil 15 or the insert 25 and thejewelry piece is consequently secured. The jewelry 1, so secured throughthe needle 21, is, however, attached only to the recess 5 while beingworn. No force acts on the needle 21. When the jewelry 1 is worked uponby higher forces other than merely its own weight and pulled on the earlobe, the needle comes into use during wearing. Then the piece ofjewelry 1 remains hanging on the needle, after it has been first movedat the front end 23 of the slit 20. This needle 21 even allows a heightadjustability of the ear jewelry on the ear lobe. The needle can be putin at any desired place within the slit 20 through the foamed foil 15 orthe slit 27 on the insert 25. Correspondingly, an ear jewelry with itsrecess 5 can be pushed over partly over an ear lobe and then the needleis put in through the foamed foil 15 or the insert 25 at that place,where the hole on the ear lobe is. If the ear jewelry is so put on, itis held only partially by the recess 5 as a result of adhesion strengthand a part of the holding force is taken over by the needle 21, which isdriven twice through the foils 15 or the insert 25, resting on the earlobe. These foil 15 or insert 25 moreover can be shaped like ornaments,wherein they project beyond the recess sidewise and take suitable formsthere, looking decorative. The jewelry piece itself can have anadditional hole 36, in which the safety needle 21 is kept when not inuse and can be supplied from there. When required, say, during a sportsactivity, higher forces act upon the ear jewelry, the needle can be puton as safety whereas under normal circumstances, it is not required atall.

This ear jewelry and its system allow s a particularly comfortable andabove all, pain free wearing of the jewelry, specially of fashionjewelry, which are, otherwise and conventionally, fastened on the earlobe by means of a clamping mechanism. The system also allows forcarrying on with pure ear jewelry under additional safety by means of aneedle, which is, however, not strained for normal wearing and,therefore, does not stress or stretch a hole on the ear lobe. The earjewelry can also comprise a holder or support, which works according tothis system and on which then the actual jewelry hangs. Of crucialimportance for the correct functioning of the system is that thethickness of the ear lobe is determined in the state when it has beenstretched by pulling it down and that the jewelry with its correspondingmeasured width of the recess is made to touch on the ear lobe in thisstretched condition. Then the ear lobe is let loose, by which it regainsits shape with swelling and then it holds the ear jewelry firmly as aresult of adhesion force.

The separate gauges 3 of the Gauge 2 can be deployed with standardisedsizes, so that an internationally acceptable standard for their internalwidths and their scale is created. This standard would permit that forknown ear lobe thickness in stretched condition, that is for knowninternal widths of the gauge and of the ear jewelry as well as for knownposition of the safety needle with the help of the readings on thescale, an ear jewelry can be purchased without trial and it fitsperfectly straightaway.
